Join us this Thursday, February 23 at 2PM CST on Twitch for our next live stream. We'll be assembling a portable gaming PC this time around, using ASRock's new mini-ITX motherboard and Lian-Li's PC-TU200B case.

Update: The Live stream is over. Thanks to everyone who joined us. The archive is currently available on Twitch and should be uploaded to YouTube in a couple of days.

Please can you save 1 cent on this, it would be so satisfying! Other than that I am stoked to watch this, should be able to as I have the next few days off, but I need to check what I should be doing, UK timezone here!

It's not the FE that was the driving force, rather the blower/reference cooling design to help with the limited airflow options of the ITX case. And while the NF-A14 case fan we're using moves a lot of air, we wanted a reference card design to ensure the GPU wasn't adding its heat into the case when it could be pushing it out the back.

I believe it actually was proposed when we were brainstorming this build, but I don't recall why we moved off of it. Could be we had trouble finding either the case or GPU in stock at the time we ordered the components.
